(Thats 10 ohms below zero ohms).   Are you perhaps thinking of reactance, which is some value multipled by sqrt(-1)? Inductors and capacitors are normally not marked with their reactance values because it varies with frequency.   Another possibility is that you have inserted the battery in your ohms-guesser backwards, and are therefore producing negative resistance readings. If not the battery, then perhaps the meter leads have been reversed.   -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

Voltage dividers with gain, positive exponential time constants, things like that.         --   John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc   lunatic fringe electronics

"pfjw@aol.com" <pfjw@aol.com>: Nov 13 06:25AM -0800 These are PM speakers and may be replaced with about any inexpensive PM speaker that will fit. For the most part, they were the cheapest available to begin with, and may be replaced with the cheapest available now. Go to your local auto-supply and find some cheap, small speakers. They will do fine. Emphasis on CHEAP. Or go to any on-line dealers and purchase there.   http://www.cablesandconnectors.com/07000-07.HTM   One of dozens of suppliers.   Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA

"pfjw@aol.com" <pfjw@aol.com>: Nov 13 06:33AM -0800 The RMA is probably older than you are - as difficult as that may be to believe. There is not and never has been any 'confusion' between parts, parts suppliers or any other aspect related to the manufacturing of radios since the inception of the RMA - and that was conceived to prevent such confusion. In 1924. Parts have been standardize since then.   Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA

That would tell me > that it's a MICA cap.   Here we go again. See above. They're called micamold because that's the name of the company that manufactured them. They also made paper dialectric caps that were made to like huge variations of the standard postage stamp micas. A marketing ploy at the time to suggest that THEIR crap was as stable and long life as mica. Hint: They weren't.   You're a piss poor survivalist if you can't pay attention and learn from others.     -- Jeff-1.0 wa6fwi http://www.foxsmercantile.com

He's a hack.   OK, he's an experienced hack. I'm sure more than one serviceman was snipping out potentially troublesome, yet non-essential, caps back in yesteryear.   And I'm sure some customers back then would call the BBB, if not the State's Attorney, if the radio repair man replaced a cap before it had gone up in smoke.

Before my first multimeter I had a torch bulb in calipers that made testing batteries, switches etc easy.     NT
